Mayer LOOK AHEAD Karen Nagy knows an optimistic attitude takes anyone a long way, and Dave Vail knows breaking away from a long day at school doesn’t always involve a com- plete break with the books. Liz Spottis- wood and Lynn Blaskovich also know some good break time between classes is good. A SECOND LOOK Tom Galosich reflects many of our moods when we get too worried about the future and its problems. ANOTHER FIRST DOWN Joel Montalvo and Rick Tuttle help the Trojans through another season. Break Away Look Look . . . Mills

Whether its spending a day out in the country, or taking an excursion up to the city on Saturday night, you can relax and find the real you in what ever you do. Let your moods run away and explore that deepest river or that highest point. Reach deep inside yourself and find the way you really feel; then do not be afraid to show those true feelings to the rest of the world around you. Your moods could be happy or sad, but there is much more to it than just that. There are different degrees of quiet and loud, content or disappointment, love and hate. Yet whatever mood you have at the moment, you should not be afraid to reach deep inside yourself and let the feeling show. ▼ Karen Nagy City, nature bring out ways to reach and Break Away Moods Break Away 9

Toward a better you in a better world as you break away from the past Highland High has done many things for its students, but with so many alumni still in the area, it is easy to find out how many ways going to school in Highland really helps. If part of breaking away from the past involves changing perspective and not being afraid to take chances, then the degree of suc- cess of students who have gone on into the work force and into good families of their own gives current students a lot of optimism. The skills one learns from being involved with extra-curricular ac- tivities such as clubs, sports, plays, or publications often makes a dif- ference in being more adept at han- dling extra pressures and demands on the job. Knowing how to deal with all kinds of people is also learned in high school, and though we often break away from our friends when they develop interests different from our own, the very moving on of each in his or her own way is a valuable kind of learning. If any part of our lives demands taking a good look at what possibili- ties lie ahead, high school remains a time when the looking should be extra optimistic, and also very open to a variety of experiences and new people who can make the years ahead even better. High school is an end of many things, but it can also be a fantastic begin- ning! Look Break Away 11
